OK, I've now tested and improved the Wordpress changes. swfupload is
still completely gone. tinymce is patched to smoothly remove the use of
moxieplayer, using the same patch I've used and tested in other
packages. plupload is patched to never try and use the Flash or
Silverlight uploaders, only the HTML5 and HTML4 ones (really, it's not a
'patch' so much as the removal of the .js files for the Flash and
Silverlight uploaders). mediaelement is patched to never try and use the
Flash or Silverlight players; it will embed an HTML5 player if possible,
and offer a download link for the media if not.

I've tested all these changes against Firefox 23, IE 10, and IE 10 in
its IE 7 emulation mode, and they seem to work correctly. I'm sending a
Wordpress 3.6 build with all the changes out for testing.
